Classical vs Church Latin

[lucybeebee]

I'm trying to re-learn Latin from some books that I used when I studied it in high school, but it's classical Latin. Do I need to get books that are specifically about eccesiastical Latin or can I keep using what I already have?

lucybeebee,

I studied classical Latin and am just fine when I use Church Latin; the two have almost identical grammar (if not exactly identical). It is only the pronunciation that is different, and you can learn that from a Latin-lover in your area. Classical is largely the more difficult of the two, so you'll be more proficient if you study it rather than Church Latin. Hope this helps.

Yours,
